Tire chains on sierra denali by black06denal
Mar 11, 2006 (8:22 am)
I was about to buy tire chains (cables) for my new '06 GMC Sierra Denali quad cab. The tires are P275/55R20. I looked in the manual, and it gives a warning to not put chains on the vehicle. Huh?! I looked under the vehicle and don't see any obvious clearance problems. What gives? It's a truck!
 
thanks, rex

I'm dting to know what was causing the kicking and the neutral feeling while in Reverese.....sounds like my issue only I call it slipping.
 
My truck only has 15k on it and I'm kinda in shock about it.

I have a 2005 as well. I now have 19,000 miles. So far the pads have been replaced twice, original rotors were turned and then replaced. The service rep at the dealer even admitted that GM knew there was a problem and that is why they did not argue at 12k to replace rotors. Oh, it took three weeks to get the rotors in. I am already starting to feel the vibration again. We will see how willing they are to continue to service this issue.

2000 Gmc Sierra running lights by discodon
Mar 14, 2006 (2:42 pm)
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 4x4, my driver side running light is always burning out within a couple of weeks of putting it in. I notice alot of GMCs and Chevys with this same problem. Could it be a bad ground or something else? I also have a problem with my autotrac 4x4. When in autotrac it seems it isn't disengaging into 2wd, could this be related?

Was reading some of the post and thought I would
check in. When my truck was under warranty I had to
continually take it back for things I thought should not
have been a problem. Latest is the drivers side bulb.
I have always noticed the large amount of similar trucks with burnt out bulb and have wondered when my turn would come. Well it just did, and the bulb and socket looked like it had really got hot. Anybody else seen this. Excuse me if this has been asked. I am new to the site.
Thanks,
Russ

I don't know the exact reason for the drl's burnig out but many of us have changed them out to a "LL"(long-lasting) version. Often in amber. Go to AutoZone, or Pep Boys (kinda pricey here) or Wak Mart and pick up a set of 3157/4157LL bulbs. FYI, "NALL" suffix is Natural Amber Long Lasting.

I'm new to the forum but not new to the problems i see hear. I shopped for all the trucks before buying 03 sierra ext cab 5300. Love the looks and thought it was the best truck for the money. I took it back constantly when under warranty for steering column, rusted front bumper,rust on chrome, hole in interior at seatbelt hole,bad fuel indicator,etc,etc..at my expense and they would give me some little car to drive. I started calling GM and filing complaints eventually hoping to get some kind of deal on a trade in or trade out. They finally said they would file me as an unsatisfied customer and that was it. I wish Honda made a full size.

Just thought i would let you know my 2000 g m c 1500 has the exact same problems. I am researching the shifting problem which may be shifting motor at transfer case.
THe runing light will need a new socket soon as it is fried. Other than these two problems I am happy with the truck. 150000 miles and still runs great with no repairs
